Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Adenylate cyclase activation by GTP and octopamine as well as basal activity (in the presence of Mg 2+ ) have been studied as a function of membrane structure in plasma membranes from brain of the dipterous Ceratitis capitata. Benzyl alcohol and lidocaine, but not phenobarbital, inhibited the three activities to the same extent. Triton X-100-solubilized adenylate cyclase was also inhibited by benzyl alcohol and lidocaine, but not by phenobarbital. Results could be explained by an effect on the catalytic unit lipid environment, which would be maintained after solubilization, counteracting the effect of these drugs to facilitate lateral diffusion and coupling of adenylate cyclase components in the lipid bilayer. The observation that the insect adenylate cyclase is relatively insensitive to changes in bulk bilayer fluidity is strengthened by the absence of effect of phenobarbital on enzyme activities. Indeed, this compound was as active as lidocaine or benzyl alcohol in increasing bulk membrane fluidity. The response of C. capitata adenylate cyclase to changes in membrane fluidity is different from that recorded in mammalian systems. This may be functionally important and result from the fact that insects are not warm-blooded.
